1. In 1997, for the convenience of traveling, I bought a business jet made in the United States. I wanted to proceed quietly, but unexpectedly, the matter became a hot topic. Some foreign reporters even described Yuanda's purchase of aircraft as a signal of China's economic rise. But I am secretly proud of the enjoyment that private flying brings. Think about it, you can go anywhere you want as long as you decide an hour in advance. Drive straight to the plane door, board the plane in a few steps, the plane quietly climbs to an altitude of 10,000 meters, spread out the large tabletop, have something to drink or read and write for a while, then put the spacious sofa as flat as a bed, through the large Looking at the bright stars from the hanging window, listening to my favorite music... The enjoyment cannot be overstated. However, a few years ago, I took the initiative to cut off this enjoyment. I stipulated that business jets were not allowed to take off with less than 6 passengers. From then on, I rarely had the opportunity to travel on business jets. I had to endure airport search-style security checks, boring waits, occasional delays, unpleasant smells in the cabin, and stiff seats... Why would I willingly fly a plane worth hundreds of millions of dollars? To suffer? Because one day I suddenly learned a statistic: A tree absorbs an average of 18.3 kilograms of carbon dioxide a year. The carbon dioxide emitted by my plane traveling 3,000 kilometers back and forth from Changsha to Beijing is equivalent to the carbon dioxide absorbed by eight large trees that have grown for 60 years. I was startled.
Looking back at the beginning of Yuanda’s business, my main motivation for developing non-electric air conditioners was to make money for myself, my secondary motivation was to save electricity for the country (power was extremely scarce at the time), and my third motivation was to reduce CFC emissions for the earth. (Non-electric air conditioners use zero-pollution natural refrigerants). Later, I had more money than I could spend in a lifetime. At the same time, I also noticed that human beings’ excessive use of energy has caused climate warming and endangered the survival of future generations. Therefore, my main motivation became to save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For more than 10 years, I have led hundreds of engineers and test workers in the company to achieve miraculous energy-saving levels for Yuanda non-electric air conditioners through continuous technological improvement and innovation.
In June 2008, Mr. Tony Blair, founder of the "Climate Group" and former British Prime Minister, in his report "Breaking the Deadlock on Climate Change, a Global Agreement for a Low-Carbon Future" submitted to the G8 Summit , the only company case included: "Broad Air Conditioning (China): With the increase in income levels in developing countries, the demand for air conditioners has also exploded, creating a new source of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions. And China's The air conditioners sold by Yuanda Air Conditioning Company emit less carbon dioxide than traditional air conditioners, and their energy efficiency is 2 times higher than the traditional maximum energy efficiency. The technology behind it is 'non-electric refrigeration', in which a liquid is heated, boiled and then cooled. This condenses water vapor and lowers the surrounding temperature. This type of air conditioner can use local energy sources, such as natural gas, as fuel, thereby avoiding the peak electricity load of the grid, and can use power generation waste heat for cooling..."
Today, Yuanda non-electric air conditioners have been sold to more than 60 countries around the world and have been used in many impressive buildings, such as the tallest building in South America, the tallest building in Beijing, the largest airport in Europe and the largest airport in Asia. In fact, I have always been dissatisfied with the market progress of the product. Up to now, most owners and building equipment engineers are still unfamiliar with non-electric air conditioners. They are often accustomed to choosing electric air conditioners with a history of hundreds of years, unless they meet far-sighted customers. .
I remember that on January 18 this year, the Qualcomm headquarters in the United States held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a non-electric air conditioner. I told Mr. Jacobs, chairman of Qualcomm, that the cost of using this non-electric air conditioner with a cooling capacity of 4.65MW would be reduced. The carbon dioxide emitted is equivalent to planting more than 100,000 trees. He was very excited after hearing this. The owner of the CDMA patent and the world's communications giant actually stayed at the site for half a day for a mere air conditioner. I also calculated an account for him. The investment cost of this equipment can be earned from the energy cost savings of more than a year. He immediately said seriously that non-electric air conditioners should be used in buildings all over the world. I nodded, but I knew in my heart that changing people's habits was even harder than reaching the sky.
For many years, there have always been well-meaning people who advised our employees, and some friends once advised me face to face: With your ability, if you make electric air conditioners, the scale may be 10 times larger than it is now, and it may have become a global center. Air conditioner No.1. I don’t know how many of our more than 2,000 employees know their mission and how many are troubled by the market problems they face, but I know they must be proud of the following numbers.
BROAD non-electric air conditioners’ contribution to the earth in the past 16 years (as of 2007):
Reduced emissions by more than 90 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2)
Reduced emissions by 100 More than 10,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2)
Reduction of more than 500,000 tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Reduction of more than 10,000 tons of Freon (CFCS)
Reduce emissions of more than 300,000 tons of respirable particulate matter (PM10)
Actually, the above numbers are still too boring. In recent years, the non-electric air conditioners sold by Yuanda each year reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which is approximately equivalent to the carbon dioxide absorbed by 160 million trees each year. This is equivalent to the 80,000 trees planted by each employee every year. This is what truly makes employees proud! But I can't bear to cut down 8 trees to enjoy a private flight. They are 8 green and towering trees

Traveling around to buy and sell things. Subduing demons, slaying gods and killing Buddhas; joyfully overturning clouds and rain, enjoying a cup of tea and thinking about philosophy.
2. Everyone has his or her own dream, and my dream is to build the poor mountain valley into a modern new countryside when I grow up.
The beautiful scenery of Guilin is fascinating: the Daxinganling Mountains covered with forests, seas and pines are pleasing to the eye and will make people have infinite reverie. My hometown is located in a corner of Huangshan City, Anhui Province - Guiyuan Village, Xiuning County. Although it is remote and cannot be found on the map of China, I love it deeply. I love it not only because it has a splendid and long history and culture, and its hard-working and brave people, but also because it is rich and beautiful. It is rich in Huangshan Maofeng, chrysanthemum tea, bamboo shoots, etc., but even more because it is my hometown.
If someone comes to ask me: "Where has changed the most in our hometown?" I will proudly tell him: "The old and dirty Guiyuan Village of the past has disappeared, and has been replaced by a modern and prosperous village. Modern new countryside! ”
Isn’t it? Dad told me that life was very hard when he was a child. To go to school, I have to walk more than 10 miles of rugged mountain roads before I can go to the rural primary school to study. It would be even worse if it rains. In the school, one teacher teaches two grades (that is called a duplex class). That's because the transportation is inconvenient, which makes the local economy very backward. The farm tools used by farmers are very old, transportation mainly relies on human-powered unicycles, and plowing the fields is still done by oxen... Being poor means wanting to change, so the children here are more diligent in studying. I heard from my father that there are more than 100 households in the village, and 40% of them now have a child with a college degree or above. I secretly made up my mind: I will also be admitted to a prestigious university in the future, learn skills well, and make my hometown more prosperous and powerful!
This summer I went back to my hometown with my father. Along the way, I found that from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, there used to be some bumpy dirt roads, but now they have turned into wide and flat cement roads. The village cadres told us that this is The road was built by the people in my hometown who raised their own funds. I stared at the smooth road in front of me and was moved by their spirit of self-reliance. I was speechless for a long time. I also found that those short and dilapidated small bungalows were gone, and there were beautiful two-story houses lined up one after another. Every household has a TV and electric fan, and 90% of households are equipped with telephones. Many households also have solar water heaters installed! Seeing these scenes, I couldn't help but admire: "The changes in my hometown are so great!" I couldn't believe my eyes!
As we were walking and chatting, my father suddenly said to me in a serious voice: "Daughter, our hometown has not yet reached the level of well-off society. You are the grandson of your hometown. What are your thoughts about the new countryside?" I pondered for a while and told my father confidently: "If I were an architect, I would build a farmer's market, department store and supermarket for my hometown; I would also build a cultural market for my hometown. Whenever night falls, the beautiful square Colorful lights are everywhere. A musical fountain is set up in the most gorgeous part of the square. The fountain rises and falls according to the melody of the music. The highest water column can shoot up to a height of more than 30 meters, like a sky pillar and falling like Sun Wukong's golden cudgel. The water drops are like a huge mist net, falling on people's bodies, giving people a refreshing feeling, like stepping into a fairyland on earth. There will also be a youth activity center and museum... On weekends, the activity center will be opened. The meeting was filled with laughter and laughter and became a happy world for the children.
Determined to build the most luxurious hotel for my hometown, the hotel has elevators, air conditioning... and a lot of everything, everything is available. The hotel has more than 30 floors, the waiters are kind and approachable, and the chef’s food is delicious, beautiful, beautiful and fragrant. , and all kinds of flavors, it makes people salivate at the sight of it."
"If I were the director of the Education Bureau, I would first set up a modern distance education project for primary and secondary schools in my hometown, and build a CD-ROM playback point. Satellite ground receiving stations and multimedia network classrooms allow children in rural areas to operate computers as proficiently as children in cities and search for background information for writing essays online, and also allow children in mountainous areas to listen to lectures by famous teachers face to face. , enjoy the nectar of knowledge. In the Chinese class, teachers can use information sheets to bring students into beautiful artistic conception; in the mathematics class, teachers can use courseware to make an abstract and difficult-to-understand concept concrete and easy to understand; There are music and art classes where children can enjoy music and art works through multimedia...
"If I were a county magistrate, I would invest a lot of education funds, especially in rural education. Go up and let rural children enjoy high-quality education under the same blue sky...
"If I were an artist...
"If I were an entrepreneur...< /p>
"Ah, this is my fantasy about the new countryside! May my fantasy come true! I firmly believe that today after the reform and opening up, the new countryside will become more prosperous, more beautiful, and more lovely!"
"You are ambitious, well done! Don't forget the well diggers when drinking water. This is our hometown. In the future, you must repay your hometown and make it as picturesque as possible... to bring rural construction to a higher level. Floor! ”
